Officiant
Hey, I’m Austin. I am the brides older brother and the officiant for the wedding! I currently live in Montana with my wife Kate. I’m a firefighter and enjoy all sorts of outdoor activities! Super happy for my sister and her soon to be husband!
Maid of Honor
As Marissa’s cousin, I’ve been lucky enough to be witness, and occasionally accomplice, to many of her crazy plans, so many sleepovers at grandma’s, and too many car ride concerts to count. And now, I get to stand beside her on the best day of her life as she and Jeff become one! I live in Iowa with my two boys, Jackson and Lee, and boyfriend Pete.
Groomsman
Jeff and I met freshman year in college, and quickly became good friends. If I didn’t force him out of his dorm room I’m not sure that he wouldn’t still be sitting there waiting to escape. We’ve remained friends over the years enjoying Cardinals, Blues, and Warriors basketball games together. Getting older means getting busier, but Jeff’s always just a phone call away. Extremely happy for the bride and groom, best wishes for a lifelong of happiness between them

My husband Grady and I lovingly pay for the lifestyles of 1 smartass son and 3 equally smartass daughters...They cute though. We live in central Louisiana, where I teach 8th grade social studies and science. My favorite things: concerts, travel, hunting, family, jeeping, sunshine, and seeing our girl marry the love of her life!

Marissa (or should I say Officer Perry) and I first met in prison in administrative segregation. We instantly became friends as I wished I had her charisma to, “Tell it how it is”. She has always been steadfast in our friendship and infinitely giving. I am so honored to be her friend and be apart of her special day!
